They've just got to get better. It's frustrating.No wonder they lost! Fucking Romo is there.
Ya, cause the Bulls definitely look like one player away right now.
Miami is blowing out the Charlotte Bobcats in the first round.
In the second round, they'll face either the Raptors or the Nets. Followed by, it's looking like, either the Wizards or the Hawks in the conference finals. They have no competition in this conference now that Indy has folded.
If Carmelo Anthony decides to take less money to go play for the Rockets in the loaded Western Conference, as opposed to taking a similar paycut to play for the Bulls, where he and Rose would stamp their pass to the conference Finals every year with this weak ass competition, he's a fucking moron.
It's a process.They've just got to get better. It's frustrating.
Yea they could definitely use a second All Star along with Melo, I wonder where that guy could come from.Ya, cause the Bulls definitely look like one player away right now.

They're two players away. Rose and Melo.Ya, cause the Bulls definitely look like one player away right now.

Cool, so you plan to be a slightly upgraded version of Melo's Knicks or his old Nuggets teams.Judging a rusty player by ten games coming off a knee injury

He didn't forget how to play basketball. Even if he's not an MVP anymore he's still better than any player Melo currently plays with by far.
Noah is on par with Chandler. Rose at 80% is probably better than anyone he's played with, but not by a huge margin. That's just a nice player who probably lost his explosiveness and will have to rely on an average jump shot.Rose at 80% of what he was is better than anybody Melo has ever played with, Noah probably is better than anybody he's ever played with as well.
The Bulls without Rose are already better than Melo's Knicks and nearly on par with his old Nuggets teams.Cool, so you plan to be a slightly upgraded version of Melo's Knicks or his old Nuggets teams.
Good luck with that because those team were so successful.
But they're not one of the best in the East already without the 2. They finished 6 games over .500 and are on the verge of getting beat in 5 games of the 1st round.I don't think Rose is going to return and just be a 15 ppg PG with an average jump shot for the rest of his career.
He will still be a legit superstar. He just might not be MVP Derrick Rose anymore, ie, one of the top 3-4 players in the game, but he'll still be top 10-12. Melo is right there too.
Adding two of those types of players to a team that is already one of the best in the weak Eastern conference means you are pretty much guaranteeing a couple of showdowns with Miami in the Finals.
And Thibs can give Miami fits with his defense. That's a series the Bulls can win with a player like Melo on the team, especially if they get more than 1 crack at it.
That's what you are hoping for, and I get that as a Bulls fan. However, I think the odds are more in favor of him taking a significant dip in overall effectiveness.I don't think Rose is going to return and just be a 15 ppg PG with an average jump shot for the rest of his career.

That's what I said and that attribute is one of the major reasons that makes him elite. You take that away and he may start to rely on an average jumper more. Doing that will make him a worse player.That's what you are hoping for, and I get that as a Bulls fan.

The guy's had major knee injuries to both knees. That's got to rob him of some of his explosiveness. He'll still be better than most but I just don't think he'll ever be that true superstar/MVP again who can carry a franchise to a title.
Time will tell.
They had the fourth best regular season record. That's one of the best.But they're not one of the best in the East already without the 2. They finished 6 games over .500 and are on the verge of getting beat in 5 games of the 1st round.
